Museum on the Move Pre-Visit Checklist

We're excited to come visit your school! Help us have a great day with your students by following these steps for success.

Share the visit itinerary from your confirmation or reminder emails with the front office.
Complete the pre-visit lesson plan with your students.
Do any of your students require additional help or translation? Please arrange for this ahead of time.
Need to make changes to your itinerary? Give us a heads up by emailing mom@nhmu.utah.edu

Let the front office know to expect our NHMU educator(s) 15-20 minutes before the scheduled start time, and where to send them.
Classrooms work best for our visit. We'll use the whiteboard or smartboard (no computers necessary).
Set up five stations for students to rotate around. These can be made by pushing desks together or using tables. Clear these stations of all other objects.
Each student will need a pencil and somewhere to write (science notebook, scratch paper, etc) for recording their observations.
If you feel like your students would benefit from a structured worksheet, you are welcome to print copies of our guided notes sheet. Five copies per student, please!
- The guided notes are also available in the Dual Immersion Languages: Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

We typically rotate through each 4th grade classroom, so it's a huge help to have your classroom ready to go before our start time!

Your participation is expected, valued, and necessary!
Be engaged with students during the visit.
Help students with microscopes (Utah's Plants and Animals or Great Salt Lake topics).
Encourage observations.
Keep students on task and manage student behavior. We don't know your students as well as you do!
